Load Balancers

Scale to meet your demand with any of our cloud solutions, in any of our datacentres.

The OVH Load Balancer distributes the load between your various services in our datacentres. With this service, you can scale your infrastructure to handle high volumes of traffic, gain a high fault tolerance, and provide optimal response times. All of this comes with a service that aims for Zero Downtime.

Once you have exhausted the volume of traffic included with your pack, OVH will start applying a charge to your consumption. OVH will charge for each gigabyte of additional cumulative traffic (incoming and outgoing) used, at a rate of
£0.023 ex. VAT/month
(or £0.028 incl. VAT).
